This iconic Lighthouse Park home was the original Busam family general store, post office, and gas pump on Anastasia Island. Built around 1930, the now Lighthouse Park neighborhood has grown up around this historic property. Within walking distance is the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, RB Hunt Elementary, and the Red Cox Recreational Facility which houses a playground, tennis courts, boat launch and pier, and fishing pier on Salt Run. And it's just a short bike ride to Anastasia State Park, the amphitheater, and is only 1.1 miles from downtown. Because of this home's unique history as a general store, it now can serve as both a single family residence, or a duplex as a long or short term rental. As a short term rental, it has a solid rental history and high rating with AirBnB. Downstairs, which used to be the old store, now houses a spacious foyer, an enormous living room, a combination kitchen and dining room, and an oversized master bedroom with ensuite bath. Upstairs, which used to be the original family living space, still functions as a stand-alone two-bedroom apartment or can be opened to enjoy the space as a single-family home. Upstairs you'll find a large living room/dining room combination, a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and one full bathroom. The entire home is richly appointed with modern luxuries like granite countertops and stainless appliances, while maintaining the historical integrity of the home with refinished original hardwoods and soaring ceilings with custom original trimwork. The outdoor space is brimming with charm with two brick paver courtyards where something is always blooming, a gas fireplace, professional low-maintenance landscaping and landscape lighting, and a full wetbar complete with a neon "Cigars" sign! The home has been an integral part of St. Augustine Life for generations and has been lovingly maintained to serve Anastasia Island for generations to come!
